Hello, folks! It's been a while since I've posted on here, because I've been off the SWVA sports beat for a few years now. When I registered here, I was the producer for Abingdon's sports...football, baseball, and basketball. I don't know when during that time frame it was, but I know at some point I probably provided some scores or some such thing. A few years ago, we moved the WABN studios back up to Abingdon. That effectively ended my run as producer for those sporting events. The station still does all Falcon basketball, baseball, and football to this day, but the station manager there has other help...mainly because driving to Abingdon for games would be prohibitive to my regular work. Since then, one of the group's Bristol stations started into high school football, with one season of Dobyns-Bennett games, and then the past three for Sullivan South. I still listen online for Abingdon's games as I can to provide scores on our sister station, and I kinda miss the broadcast team up there. That said, the Sullivan South station, WPWT (870 AM and 100.7 FM) will be broadcasting this game on Saturday. I'll be back at the controls in the studio, and I'm told the entire broadcast team from South's games will be broadcasting, complete with sideline reporters for the teams from each side of the state line. I'll talk to the play-by-play man, Tom Taylor, and see about when the pre-game show is to begin and all the particulars. If you're out of the area, you can always listen online at Powertalk870.com. Our AM signal typically gets to about Wytheville, but is sketchy starting a little before there.

Make that 24-15. Doh.

Put a fork in Abingdon, they're done. Offense isn't doing squat, and the defense is arm-tackling. 3:30 to go, Marion leads 24-25.

Marion just muffed a punt from Abingdon, Falcons picked it up at Marion 46. Marion 24, Abingdon 15. Anyone got scores for the Martinsville or Bassett games?
